Socket module

Post by nelfata » Thu May 15, 2014 9:30 pm

I am not sure if this topic has been discussed earlier, but I could not find any.

I have developed a module: modsock
The implementation is based on the unix modsocket module but now it is available on the stmhal port using the Adafruit CC3000 module driver code.
I am new and getting up to speed on the MP C side of the code. So my implementation might have some issues due to the fact that not all the APIs/DEFINES are clear to me when using the Python/C interface.

NOTE: there were some issues using send and recv, these required some modifications to the buffer size found in cc3000_common.h

I am not planning to be a regular developer on GitHub and contribute to the development, but if need be I could provide the code to whoever is interested.
There is some additional member functions to add and some more testing but I could perform the following so far:

import sock
s=sock.sock()
ip = sock.gethostbyname("google.com")
s.connect(ip, 80)
s.send(b"GET / HTTP/1.0\n\n")
print(s.recv(4096))
s.close()

the ouput...

>>> print(s.recv(4096))
recv: size alloc 4096
recv: size received 517
HTTP/1.0 302 Found

just make a github account, fork the project, push your changes and submit a pull request. That is just the most convenient way to contribute for everyone..

Hi,

We as a team are developing with the Micro Python board and we would be very happy if you could send / release the code to us, via github or any other means conveniant to you.

Thanks in advance,

Thomas

It looks like the wifi and ethernet code (along with the corresponding socket code) was just merged into master:

and see the last comment on this thread:

Hello,
i hav tested the socket and WLAN as client
(Micro Python v1.3.3-50-g9b6617e on 2014-10-11; PYBv1.0 with STM32F405RG
"pybv10-network-2014-10-11-v1.3.3-50-g9b6617e.dfu")
(http://www.binarytides.com/receive-full ... in-python/)

code snippet:

Code: Select all

import socket
addr = socket.getaddrinfo("a-d-k.de", 80)
s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
print ("IP:",addr[0][-1])
s.connect(addr[0][-1])
s.send("GET / HTTP/1.0\r\n\r\n")
s.setblocking(1)
#...
buf = s.recv(300)
print(buf)
#...
s.close()
the problem is:
when I read an HTML page that is larger than the buffer, it is very fast;
is the buffer larger than the HTML page it takes a long time.
Unfortunately I could not get the bytes read individually.
A repeated s.recv(100) did not work:

Code: Select all

while 1:
  buf  =  socket.recv(50)
  print("length:",len(data))
  print(data)
  if(len(data)==0)
    break
I can read the data length before I define the bufferlength?
How can I read the individual bytes? (with s.setblocking(0) I could not read anything)

An my Server wrote many Error (not correkt GET...). but that's another story.

I'd recommend that you bring this up as an issue on github (so Damien will see it - I think he reads github more than the forum).

ok.
a pity the socket/Net/CC3000 is not written in uPhython, hacking it yourself...

The cc3k.recv() method was trying to do multiple recv calls to get the requested buffer size. This was wrong behaviour that is now fixed.

I don't know if this is enough to fully fix your problem, but give this version a try: https://micropython.org/static/download ... e42570.dfu
